Afghanistan is sad and alarming. And there is so little discussion about it. Just the odd article here and there that ominously describes a return of the conditions that bred the Taliban back in the early nineties. Nobody gives a sh*t. Heck, the administration even "forgot" to include any aid in their first budget draft, and when somebody noticed, they threw a pitiful bone. Only a tiny fraction of the aid promised by our allies materialized, and nobody seems to be complaining other than the hapless officials in Kabul. Meanwhile, the heroin industry, under warlord control, is returning to its pre-Taliban glory.

Hopefully the oil in Iraq will prevent a similar policy failure there.
